They've been doing this for decades! Name a recent band who has a hit album as their 5th or later release from a major label. Can't be done with more than a handful of bands that first hit in the 90s or later. It started in the 90s. Bands would get good advertising and good pushes for their first three albums and then they were on their own to pull in their existing fans. Today you get one album and then the labels move on the next group. But the trend started over 20 years ago. The only "mature" bands that get lip service from their label are the ones where the lead singers also get airtime on Entertainment Tonight. For some reason people care about what Bono has to say or what Madonna is up to so U2 and Madonna gets promotion dollars from their labels. Only the media darlings get label backing.
And frankly, if the labels started selling indie artists the "hardcore music fans" would call them sellouts and find other indie artists to listen to.
This was said by several people and I don't think they understand what equal means:
But again if you compare like-to-like, such as a 20-year-experienced male nurse versus a 20-year-experienced female nurse, you find the woman's income will be 1-2% higher. Basically equal.
1-2% higher, yet equal? Please send me 1-2% of your salary. Your income level will still be basically equal to what it is now, right?
Las Vegas pays only 98% (I've heard 95% but the number is fixed) because they have to by law. That's the whole point of gambling being REGULATED. You would still be violating the law if your payouts were 80%. And in order to be regulated you would have to submit to costly audits of both your books and your code. This bill will not let you put roulette and slot machines on the web from your basement. But good luck trying it.
Actually the 3270 isn't far off from a web browser in concept. Every "action" key is a request to the server. The server sends back a "page" of information. The 3270 is a block display device. How is that really different from early browsers aside from the graphics?
Regardless of the Turning Test aspects of this, forms are filled on the client. This hypothetical algorithm would also be running on the client. The server can't trust any "Yes this is a human" that comes from the client. So even if you could make this algorithm it would not solve the intended problem.
If privacy existed in such a manner, then the fact that it's technically im/possible to obtain information should be moot
what if this case was simply a person UNRELATED to a case, who would not release a key to information that would empirically prove who a serial killer was?
So if someone is witness to a crime and will not testify we should torture them and use mind control drugs on them since any obstacle to obtaining information due to "technical" reasons is moot, right? You live in a scary place.
Funny, I spent about $70 on new books when 3.5 came out. After about 12-15 hours of gaming, I probably broke even compared to seeing a movie with friends, buying drinks with friends, going to dinner with friends, etc. I don't play often but name something else you can do with 4-5 other people for $70 that can last hundreds of hours. I can't see how anyone could complain about their money's worth.
RPGs have always been about splatbooks. 4e really isn't any different here.
C/C++ libraries for SQL engines are not text only. Setup correctly, you only need to tell the database API once that "ID" is an integer and it will come directly into your data area as an integer.
The best way to learn how data comes out of a database (or to learn anything) is by doing. 10 minutes looking your database's xxxBindxxx functions would have showed you that you can bind database columns to binary data areas. IOW, RTFM.
What was your first experience with gaming? d20s on a kitchen table? A Nintendo Entertainment System under the Christmas tree?
Given the above question, most folks answer should be something like Candyland or Concentration. And I doubt many people really remember the first time they played Candyland or similar games for 3-4 year olds.
My first experience would probably involve a deck of cards, though I have no idea what specific game it would be: go fish most likely. My first computer game would be a teletype checkers game played on a shared university mainframe when I was in 7th grade, er.. 1981ish. And my first encounter with a d20 would be the Red box Basic Set when I was 12 and it was the dining room table. My first gaming console (located in a house I lived in) would be a Playstation 2. I always preferred PC gaming but my wife wanted a console.
why can't you add third-party repositories to Windows Update?
Just what we need. Viruses able to pull updates from remote sites automatically. And there's even a naggy little icon in the sys_tray telling you to update your virus.
What versions of Fluxx have you played? The most recent version is several orders of magnitude better than earlier versions of Fluxx. In early versions of Fluxx games where all moves were forced, nobody playing makes a single decision, were statistically commonplace. Most people whose knee-jerk reaction to Fluxx is derision experienced those version of Fluxx. I know, I'm one of them.
Games like TSR's Dungeon: Dungeon Twister, Runebound, Talisman. Go to boardgamegeek.com and look them up to see which one might be more to your liking. Runebound strives for the whole 'RPG experience in a boardgame' where Talisman has more of a 'gather a bunch of stuff' feel.
Better is no consecutive terms. If you are in office, you cannot run for any office until you've been out of office 2 years. If you are in office, you cannot receive money, for any reason, none. The only exception I'd make is for the Presidency they are already term/gift limited.
Did you see the Lord of the Rings movies? The finale of the trilogy did exactly that. After Frodo was done, they spent a good 15-20 minutes on everybody going home, celebrating, saying goodbye. I was expecting the credits to roll, but it just went on and on.
How is that worse than the book which went on for (100+ pages) hundreds of years after Frodo's departure to tell you various mini-tales of the various kings who follow Aragon?

I'm sure the folks at the Onion are kicking themselves for not thinking of this themselves.
Sure, it can be taught. The question is, can it be learned?
Ahhh, PL/1. Most but not quite all the power of COBOL and FORTRAN...... Combined!!

Yeah, we need hooks into WindowsUpdate so any program can just download new software at 3am. That'll be secure.
The difference is the tabs don't waste space in you OS task bar. And that's basically why I have 30+ tabs open at a time sometimes.
For kisses that last all night.
Also helpful for those folks that catch bullets in their mouth I suppose.

The drums on She Loves You are far more interesting than on say Yesterday (which has no drum part).
You obviously never heard songs like It Won't Be Long or Can't Buy Me Love. Some of that early stuff really rocks.
What I want to know is will it work with multiple singers? Beatles songs are best known for their harmonies.
Hey, but once you have the breath controller, you can do Peter Frampton songs correctly.
So if someone is witness to a crime and will not testify we should torture them and use mind control drugs on them since any obstacle to obtaining information due to "technical" reasons is moot, right? You live in a scary place.
Bet you can't eat just one.

Well since the one I like uses templating you must mean Geeklog (@ geeklog.net)
Performance? It's just 8-byte string comparisons.
SELECT * FROM wherever WHERE mydatefield between '20080110' and '20080116'
YYYYMMDD is sortable by day so you just construct the string version of 7 days ago and off you go. Why would I do substring scans?
How about the third quarter results?
SELECT MAX(money) FROM accounts WHERE datefield between '20070701' and '20070930'
No, the only real problem with using this method is bogus dates: 20089321. There's nothing to prevent them.

Noob! How could you ignore Natalie Portman and Petrification? Where was the tagging beta then?
